Can a 3D scanner scan shiny objects?

Shiny, reflective surfaces are the ultimate challenge for 3D scanners, but they aren't impossible to capture. By understanding that reflectivity "blinds" the scanner's sensors, you can use pro techniques like matte scanning sprays, exposure adjustments, and diffused lighting to get perfect, high-quality data every time.
